some people think they own the lake !!
As I was returning from the Weirs last evening and going past Locks Island I slowed my boat to just above no wake speed even though it is not a no wake zone, a resident on the island was yelling at me to move away from the island. I always slow down going through this area even though it is not necessary but considerate. I was at least 300 ft off shore and under 10 mph. What do they expect a boater to do? Next time I will not slow down and I will not hear him yelling.

I know that passage between Locke’s and Pig and you are correct, it is not a NWZ. You were well within your rights to be passing “his” island...maybe he was having a bad day... |

You heard him from 300 ft? I can’t hear things at 30 ft

I think most people way over estimate how far 150 feet is. Especially Owen. Last edited by Dave R; 07-12-2018 at 01:02 PM. |

football field
Always used a football field to get a better prospective ... 50 yards for 150 feet ... if you can hit him with a football then he's too close ...

Lockes
I never come off plane in that area unless there is another approaching boat too close. Screw him whoever he is, I'm not coming off plane if he yells at me.

Wake Watchers
There's a lady on the point at Y Landing who's a match for any wake watchers. She yells at everybody entering the cove, arms flailing

A friendly wave and a shout back, "I'm great, thanks for asking" is all that is needed here.

I do not use it often, but when I feel the Irish rising within me, and I need to keep eyes, and ears open, and mouth shut, the your #1 gesture provides miniscule satisfaction for me!
